Does this mean that someone lost their bet on here?
Are there more than 3 overturned police cars?
Besides, like the headline, just looks like an unruly crowd than a riot to me.
DPG, honest question here. Seeing how Boobie conceded defeat and welshed on his bet, if blacks do happen to go on a full rage riot tonight, do you think I should honor the bet?
Believe it or not, if I won the bet, this is the pic I would require in your sig.
Yessiree, ol' boobie is famous for initiating racial harmony.
They don't have time for no "Uncle Tom". They'd rather listen to others.
It's really funny how they conveniently ignore Larry Elder because he speaks the truth.
nope, not racist at all.
I guess Charles Barkley wants to go to white heaven too. Figures. All those white people cheering for you for so many years has got to have some effect, right?
Yes. His act shows his true colors, but you are the better man. Just like when I was welshed on for over $500, then turned around and paid a $500 bet on here that I lost right after. Others actions don't dictate what I do. I do what's right regardless of what others have done to me. It's what separates good men from the rest.
aight now this right here i agree with. i don't know why so many blacks played the race card but for whatever reason they did. even though slavery and the civil rights movement is a huge part of our culture and history, we need to learn to get over it. racism isn't a big deal anymore. we need to stop talking about racism like we have actually gone through it. most blacks have probably never faced racism head on so what's all the fuss?
zimmerman was just trying to protect his neighborhood that night and sadly things went south, fast. all the negative reports and horrible memes of trayvon's dead body was due to blacks overreacting, again, to nothing. i can't wait till the rest of black america catches up to charles and mr. elder. these men need to be leaders and beacon's of ispiration for young black men like myself to one day strive to be like.
OK, who are you and what have you done with Trill?
First part was comedy, I appreciate the sarcasm and I get it. But your last sentence is truth.
Pat Buchanan weighs in with some hate facts:
Black America's Real Problem Isn't White Racism
By Pat Buchanan - July 19, 2013
In the aftermath of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and Ben Jealous of the NAACP are calling on the black community to rise up in national protest.
Yet they know -- and Barack Obama, whose silence speaks volumes, knows -- nothing is going to happen.
"Stand-Your-Ground" laws in Florida and other states are not going to be repealed. George Zimmerman is not going to be prosecuted for a federal "hate crime" in the death of Trayvon Martin.
The result of all this ginned-up rage that has produced vandalism and violence is simply going to be an ever-deepening racial divide.
Consider the matter of crime and fear of crime.
From listening to cable channels and hearing Holder, Sharpton, Jealous and others, one would think the great threat to black children today emanates from white vigilantes and white cops.
Hence, every black father must have a "conversation" with his son, warning him not to resist or run if pulled over or hassled by a cop.
Make the wrong move, son, and you may be dead is the implication.
But is this the reality in Black America?
When Holder delivered his 2009 "nation-of-cowards" speech blaming racism for racial separation, Manhattan Ins ute's Heather Mac Donald suggested that our attorney general study his crime statistics.
In New York from January to June 2008, 83 percent of all gun assailants were black, according to witnesses and victims, though blacks were only 24 percent of the population. Blacks and Hispanics together accounted for 98 percent of all gun assailants. Forty-nine of every 50 muggings and murders in the Big Apple were the work of black or Hispanic criminals.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly confirms Mac Donald's facts. Blacks and Hispanics commit 96 percent of all crimes in the city, he says, but only 85 percent of the stop-and-frisks are of blacks and Hispanics.
And these may involve the kind of pat-downs all of us have had at the airport.
Is stop-and-frisk the work of racist cops in New York, where the crime rate has been driven down to levels unseen in decades?
According to Kelly, a majority of his police force, which he has been able to cut from 41,000 officers to 35,000, is now made up of minorities.
But blacks are also, per capita, the principal victims of crime. Would black fathers prefer their sons to grow up in Chicago, rather than low-crime New York City, with its stop-and-frisk policy?
Fernando Mateo, head of the New York taxicab union, urges his drivers to profile blacks and Hispanics for their own safety: "The God's honest truth is that 99 percent of the people that are robbing, stealing, killing these drivers are blacks and Hispanics."
Mateo is what The New York Times would describe as "a black Hispanic" Yet he may be closer to the 'hood than Holder, who says he was stopped by police when running to a movie -- in Georgetown.
Which raises a relevant question. Georgetown is an elitist enclave of a national capital that has been ruled by black mayors for half a century. It's never had a white mayor.
Is Holder saying we've got racist cops in the district where Obama carried 86 percent of the white vote and 97 percent of the black vote? And his son should fear the white cops in Washington, D.C.?
What about interracial crime, white-on-black attacks and the reverse?
After researching the FBI numbers for "Suicide of a Superpower," this writer concluded: "An analysis of 'single offender victimization figures' from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white -- with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study."
Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.
If interracial crime is the ugliest manifestation of racism, what does this tell us about where racism really resides -- in America?
And if the FBI stats for 2007 represent an average year since the Tawana Brawley rape-hoax of 1987, over one-third of a million white women have been sexually assaulted by black males since 1987 -- with no visible protest from the civil rights leadership.
Today, 73 percent of all black kids are born out of wedlock. Growing up, these kids drop out, use drugs, are unemployed, commit crimes and are incarcerated at many times the rate of Asians and whites -- or Hispanics, who are taking the jobs that used to go to young black Americans.
Are white vigilantes or white cops really Black America's problem?
Obama seems not to think so. The Rev. Sharpton notwithstanding, he is touting Ray Kelly as a possible chief of homeland security.

That's an amazing, fact-filled, smackdown

So I read it and it reminds me why I don't read stuff like this that gets automatic praise from the board's racists. First of all, I think it's funny he uses gun violence from ONE state as a basis to generalize the whole black community. Also, why doesn't he use more relevant crime data? From wiki:
For 2011, law enforcement made approximately 12,400,000 arrests nationally.[15] Arrested offenders in the United States tend to be male,[16] over age 18,[17] and white.[18]

In terms of violent crime by gender, in 2011, 80.4% of arrested persons were male and 19.6% were female.[16] Males were 88.2% of those arrested for homicide, while females were 11.8%.[16] Among those arrested for rape in 2011, males were 98.8% and females were 1.2%.[16] For property crime in 2011, 62.9% of arrested persons were male and 37.1% were female.[16]
Year Male Female Male (%) Female (%) 2011 7,066,303 2,471,370 74.1 25.9
For violent crime by race in 2011, 59.4% of those arrested were white, 38.3% were black, and 2.2% were of other races.[18]For persons arrested for homicide in 2011, 49.7% were black, 48% were white, and 2.3% were of other races.[18] For persons arrested for rape in 2011, 65% were white, 32.9% were black, and 2.1% were of other races.[18] For property crime in 2011, 68.1% of arrested persons were white, 29.5% were black, and 2.4% were of other races.[18]
In 2011, law enforcement reported 6,222 bias-motivated incidents, known as hate crimes, for which 5,731 offenders were identified.[19] Of these, 59% were white, 20.9% were black, 7.1% were of various races, 1.4% were Asian or Pacific Islanders, 0.8% were Native American, and 10.8% were of unknown race.[19]
------------------------------------
Honestly, white people really need to get over this presumption that they are a race of angels. It's pretty annoying.
As the article says, characteristics of specific crimes varies so pointing a finger at one group is pretty stupid. All this is divisive bull anyways and it really doesn't focus on the problem when we point fingers at each other.
"to be an ever-deepening racial divide."
as if racist Buchannan gave the tiniest about racial divide, the man who in Congress really lead and formalized the division and polarization and obstructionism of America as a smash-mouth, all politics all the time, -governing/ -government Repug strategy.

White = 69.2
Black = 28.4
American Indian 1.5
Asian or PI= 0.9
Total = 100%
No mention of Hispanic skews these. Fuzzy got on to me for mentioning this fact awhile back, but a very large portion of the white part is made up of Hispanics (white vs. non-white Hispanics? Who the knows. Good luck trying to look these stats up btw; welcome to Richweine land.)
I guess you could say that Hispanic is an ethincity and not a race; the left (MSNBC!) loves to go to that point when they are grouping offenders, but seems to forget that angle when they are breaking down other racial stats like poverty, educaton, victims of crimes, and so forth.
The point is that black males commit a lot of violent crime, and people tend to notice that. I've read that black males age 18-49 are 5% of the population and commit half of the violent crime, but that was years ago. Recently during this trial I read that black males age 14-24 are 1% of the population but represent 27% of violent offenders. There are thousands of searches you could do on these stats that all tell the same basic story. Call me a racist if you want to and debate the causes, but again, it's hard to fault people for noticing this.
CHARLES BARKLEY: Well, I agreed with the verdict. I feel sorry that young kid got killed. But they didn't have enough evidence to charge him. Something clearly went wrong that night. Clearly something went wrong. I feel bad for anybody who loses a kid, but if you looked at the case and you don't make it -- there was some racial profiling, no question about it. But something happened that changed the dynamic of that night, and I know -- that's probably not a popular opinion among most people but just looking at the evidence I agreed with the verdict.
I just feel bad because I don't like when race gets out in the media because I don't think the media has a pure heart, as I call it. There are very few people have a pure heart when it comes to race. Racism is wrong in any, shape, form -- a lot of black people are racist too. I think sometimes when people talk about racism, they say only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist. I don't like when it gets out there in the media because I don't think the media has clean hands.
MARIA BARTIROMO, CNBC: I'm glad you made that point.
BARKLEY: Obviously I feel sorry that young kid got killed but just judging by the evidence, I don't think that guy should have went to jail the rest of his life. Something happened bad that night, obviously.
BARTIROMO: I like what the juror said, they both should have walked away. And if there is a shadow of a doubt, there is a shadow of a doubt.
BARKLEY: And let me tell you, Mr. Zimmerman was wrong to pursue -- he was racial profiling. I think Trayvon Martin, God rest his soul, I think he did flip the switch and started beating the out of Mr. Zimmerman. But it was just a bad situation. And like I said, the main thing I feel bad for, it gives every black and white person who is racist a platform to vent their ignorance.
That's the thing that bothers me the most because I watched this trial closely and I watch all these people are television talking about it. A lot of people have a hidden agenda. You know, they want their racist views, whether they are white or black --
BARTIROMO: The bias comes out.
BARKLEY: The bias, it definitely comes out. It was a bad situation, we all lost. And I feel bad for his parents. You don't ever want to see anybody lose a kid. (CNBC Closing Bell, July 18, 2013)
now i agree with everything mr.barkley said but lets be clear, trayvon was not, i repeat, was not! racially profiled by mr. zimmerman. mr. zimmerman is a hero with a big heart and was only doing what was right for his fellow homeowners. nothing illegal about following a person but i tell ya what, there is something called assault and that is what trayvon did that night. this is america and i should be able to follow whomever i please without them swinging baboon punches on me.
another point in that bold section i don't agree with is mr. barkley says it gives black and white racists a platform to vent their ignorance, excuse me mr. barkley but if these jigaboos weren't so damn insecure and sensitive about race, the good white man wouldn't have made fun of trayvon. whites are probably the most non racist group out there, but blacks sure to love to oppress others with their racism and they want to cry wolf every chance they get. i hope we hear more from mr. barkley and this isn't a one time attention oppportunity for mr. barkley. he needs to keep this up, these negroes need to hear the truth.
why are these jigaboos using trayvon's death as an opportunity to reach millions of blacks? just because it has america's attention doesn't mean you need to preach racism, hate and bring up slavery and the civil rights movement. you don't see the chinese or irish complaining!!!
Totally agree. Glad you have figured out how ridiculous it is.
my butthurt clouded my judgement. i just wish these black intellectuals take all that black empowerement talk back to where they came from. yes their message will reach more people now more than ever, but so what?Totally agree. Glad you have figured out how ridiculous it is.
I will agree with your skew point if you agree with me that about half of those "crimes" done by blacks are false and trumped up charges. There are plenty of evidence where cops are happy to slap cuffs on a black man.
My point would be that although there are more arrests and a fair share of crimes done by whites, blacks still get profiled and serve longer terms in jail than their white counterparts that does the same crime.
"Are white vigilantes or white cops really Black America's problem?"
duh, of course they are. vigilantes and corrupt cops are problems for any of their targets. Buchannan is as racist and divisive as ever. typical right-wing asshole.
Yeah I agree, that was a pretty divisive article only to serve as empowerment and fuel superiority. That was my first article I read by Pat and will not be reading another now that I know how he is.
